When you name a baby these days, there are books full of names to choose from - including what those names mean. But when God's Son came to earth, the name was picked by God Himself. To tell us exactly why He came.
God said, "You shall call His name Jesus because He will save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:18). See, Jesus means "Jehovah rescues." God's Rescuer, sent to save you from a deadly situation you can't get yourself out of - the eternal death penalty the Bible says we get for running our own lives. Like those hurricane victims you've seen on rooftops, surrounded by a flood, the only hope is a Rescuer from above. Well, that's you and me, and the Rescuer is Jesus.
Now, this Christmas season, He's come down the rope to save you - if you'll grab onto Him as your only hope. By telling Him, "Jesus, I'm Yours."
We're here to help you do that. Call us at 888-NEED-HIM or chat with us at ChatAboutJesus.com.
He came such a long way, paid such a huge price, and now He's reaching for you.
